About this match

In 1982, Algeria beat West Germany 2-1 with goals from Madjer and Belloumi, one of the greatest upsets in World Cup history. What followed was the Disgrace of Gijon: in the final group match, Germany and Austria staged a 1-0 result that eliminated Algeria despite their superior campaign. The scandal was so enormous that FIFA changed the rules — since then, the final group matches are played simultaneously. Now Algeria and Austria face each other for the first time at a World Cup, with the history of 1982 as an inescapable backdrop.
